Summary
"More than merely describing the evolution of human rights and civil liberties law, this...textbook provides students with...coverage of the most crucial developments in the field, clearly explaining the law in context and practice. Updated throughout for this new edition, [the author] considers a number of recent major changes in the law, in particular proposals to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights, and the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, whilst also contextualising the impact of reforms on hate speech and contempt due to advances in new media."-- Provided by publisher.
